Ashton’s words warmed Briar’s heart, though she tried to appear calm. “Actually, it wasn’t that hard. You just learn to be more reckless than anyone else.”

Those who feared death often died the fastest.

His heart aching for her, Ashton pressed Briar’s head into his chest. “Alright. We won’t talk about it anymore.”

She was only 18. Of all the things she could have learned, she chose to risk her life.

‘Is she saying all this just to make me ache for her?‘ he thought.

Briar nestled in Ashton’s arms, a triumphant smile on her lips. “So, are you still angry?”

Ashton sighed. “After you’ve made yourself sound so pitiful, how could I still be angry?”

Although Ashton knew Briar was just being difficult on purpose, he couldn’t help himself. He cared more about the hardships she had endured than hearing her explanation.

As for the fact that Briar was an elite instructor at the DDC Vanguard Mercenary Special Operations Base, there was no rush. If she wouldn’t elaborate, he could always ask Jabari for the details.

Jabari, who had snuck away from the villa, suddenly sneezed. “Who’s scolding me behind my back?”

Jasmin gazed at Briar’s villa in the distance. “Could it be Ashton?”

Jabari rubbed his nose. “No way, right? We weren’t the ones who exposed Briar’s cover. If Ashton is looking for trouble, he should be going after Briar!”

Jasmin got into the car and leaned against the open window, looking at Jabari standing by the door. “Do you think Ashton will give Briar a hard time? Besides, with her skills, winning him over should be a piece of cake, right?”

Jabari also got into the car and said smugly, “Then that has even less to do with me…”

“But making him happy doesn’t mean his anger is gone!” Jasmin’s words instantly put Jabari on edge.

Jabari immediately started the car. “Honey, you’re right. A cunning man like Ashton might actually use this as an excuse to come after me. We can’t stay. Let’s go now!”
